Working with Cortico has provided a new way to share underheard community voices and strengthen our data-driven approach to City decision-making. The Portal tool, in particular, provides a more expansive and transparent way to share what we’ve learned from residents. We heard from residents that they felt heard and valued as participants in the conversation.
